[quote=Anonymous]Agreed with the previous posters. When my kids do this (ages 7, 5 and 2), I say Oh, you mean Ms. Lastname? I treat it like I would if the kid said something like 'that teacher with teh blue shoes' or 'that teacher with the glasses' or whatever. They are just using descriptions that are visible to them and don't know that it's not the best way to describe people. When they are are older, I tend to say we don't talk about people's bodies - because soon, the kids will use adjectives like fat, tall, skinny, one with glasses - and I'm just trying to get them away from adjectives.[/quote]
